REDJOHNNYMIKE Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 I haven't played through too much of it, but is an incredibly fun game. The main problems I have with it fall into the "Why in the heck didn't one of the testers tell them this doesn't work" category. Ranged attacks are probably the worst, the game utilizes the incredibly awesome method of stand still, pull the trigger to aim, and push X to fire, anyone who's ever played a good fps game will suffer migraines from this. Saving is a pain in the balls. Most of the "friendlies" I've encountered are too stupid to run away from the zombies and just bleed until you save them. I'm giving some of the other stuff a chance before ragging on them, but these are way too dang annoying. The best stuff: Killing zombies is insanely fun and satisfying (chainsaws are the huzzah). The Photo Journalist stuff is kind of interesting (and one of the fastest ways to gain X.P.). Erotic zombie photos (nuff said). Weapon variety is on a level best described as epic (although a lot of them don't do squat for damage). There is a ton of stuff to do (this comes with pros and cons as you'll usually trigger a quest when you're in the middle of enjoying yourself). My first impressions were a little low because of a headache caused by a bunch of little kids freaking out while I was playing (LIKE zOMG! Can you throw that at them!!! Throw that at them!!! What's that over there!!!) but is quite entertaining. Your thoughts on the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoffe Posted August 20, 2006 Share Posted August 20, 2006 The impression I've gotten from the reviews is that it's a bit too much "kill for the sake of killing in whatever way you like" for my taste, without much in the way of a story. If I've gotten the wrong impression and there is a demo it might be worth looking at. Splatter games aren't really my thing, though Penny Arcade's take on Dead Rising in their last few strips is kind of amusing at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDJOHNNYMIKE Posted August 24, 2006 Author Share Posted August 24, 2006 Well, I've been busy and haven't played any farther, but it seems like there could be some good story developing, I just haven't seen my other friends who played it more to ask them. It depends on wether or not you can get used to the control scheme, if you're comfortable with it then yeah it's splatter for the sake of red shiny splatter, if you're uncomfortable with the controls it's more like kill anything that comes within 2 feet of chewing on you:lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan48 Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 The story is confusing but good. It's an exellent game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mav Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 To me the whole killing zombies in a mall thing isn't really that attractive, after seeing just the commercial I vowed to never play/purchase the game, I'm judgemental like that though.
